I’ve been in love with that car ever since I saw Lane Meyer fix his up with that French exchange student in “Better Off Dead.” More of which you can learn about here. Although, if you’ll note in the pic to this post, his Camaro was more of a Dodgers fan than Padres.

No, I’ve seen them with the289, and 427 in 1964. Fairlanes didn’t get a 390 until 1966, 65 was a 289 or smaller . The Galaxies had everything though. And I’ve seen the emblem used on every combo besides the 6 cyl. My uncle had a 64 Galaxie rag top with the drag pack option. 427 side oiler, 2 -4 barrel carbs, 4 speed, ladder bars, all factory. He sold it cheap, now it’s worth about 60 g’s. He’s still sick about that.

Better Off Dead was one of my favorite movies as a kid…I watched it again a few years back and was not impressed… It looked like it was made for TWO DOLLARS!!!!!
